Investments

We can examine investments from the point of view of a specific financial position, past or prospective, or from the point of view of your entire portfolio. A complete analysis begins with you. What are your investment objectives? Are you an experienced, sophisticated investor with a clear understanding of risks as well as possible rewards. Do you have multiple accounts and advisors?

If you are considering an investment dispute, what was your understanding and what were your expectations when you first began a client relationship? How have your financial circumstances changed over time?

Next we conduct a thorough review of account documents, including new account statements, discretionary trading or margin agreements, custodial agreements, and the like. If appropriate, we can review each investment account on a transaction by transaction basis, testing each transaction for suitability, transaction costs, risk and performance.

Often we will generate hypothetical comparisons, using standard indexes or other appropriate comparative measures, to generate "what if" scenarios.

We will address any other issues you think appropriate.

Finally we will report to you, verbally or in writing, as you request. We are not brokers or lawyers, but we can help you locate other professionals to assist you in the future.

If you prefer a continuing relationship, we can arrange to consult with you on a monthly or quarterly basis.
